1. 1. Functional characterization of poplar and Arabidopsis wood - related hydrolases by reverse genetics and overexpression in Arabidopsis : effects on hypocotyl elongation

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology

   Author : Emmanuel Olive; [2006]
   Keywords : cell wall; wood formation; cell wall plasticity; XET; XTH; cellulases; xylogenesis;

   Abstract : Trees and their wood present a very valuable and renewable resource (paper industry, raw materials and constructions). Consequently study of wood formation is an important research field. The wood or secondary xylem is formed from the vascular cambium where meristematic activity takes place. READ MORE

3. 2. Transcriptomes of Populus lines modified in Pectin methylesterase expression reveal activation of oxidative stress signaling pathways

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology

   Author : David Öhman; [2006]
   Keywords : Populus spp.; tyloses; wood formation; callose; oligogalacturonic acid; oxidative stress signaling pathways; pectin methylesterase; microarray; peroxidase activity; H2O2;

   Abstract : Pectin methylesterases (PMEs) catalyze the demethylesterification of cell wall polygalacturonans, and this is thought to play important roles in cell wall extensibility and intercellular adhesion. In addition, PMEs influence many physiological processes, such as stem elongation, root development, fertilization, fruit softening, and xylogenesis. READ MORE
